PARTI RBORGAMZMONS
V
X With regard to trusts holding
that a privato monopoly is
if feasible and intolerable JMr iiryan
makes tha following torsa applies-
K tlons The Republican party does
Vi -
not promise to auninuaio uiu iruom
It points to the merger auit whioh
has not produced any substantial
reiulti as its only act hostile to the
trusts One ineffective proieoution
in three years 7 With more than
200 trusts in existence it would take
600 yean to extinguish them at the
rate the Administration is going
not to speak of the new ones that
ore constantly springing up The
Republican party must soener or
later take its position upon this sub
ject It oaunot always draw votes
from tho masses who want the trusts
destroyed and at the mme time draw
campaign funds from the trusts If
the President attempts any real iu
teifereuce with the trurt program
the trusts magnates will be inter
I ested iu selecting a different kind of
a nominee for the Republicau patty
next titutt If he fails to do
publionn party will In 1003 be the
weaker for his failure
With past declarations of the
Democratic party on the subjsot of
private monopoly he soys that
the Democratic party has declared
in two platforms that a private
monopoly is indefensible and intol
erable It has demanded the en
forcement of the criminal law and it
has also demanded that the privileg
es of interstate commerce bo with
drawn from the trusts It has a
chance to bring this question before
the public with increasing emphasis
and it will profit by the public senti
ment which must ultimately con
demn private tnonpolies of every
kind
But in regard to the Democratic
partys attitude toward labor we
quote the following terse remarks In
favor of arbitration in which Mr
Bryan Bays that the Democratic
party is already on record in favor
of arbitration the only rational
and peaoeable means of settling j
and their employees it is also in
favor of the enforcement of the
eight hour day on public works and
it is opposed to the use corporations
difficulties between corporations
now make of the processes of injunc
tion agsinBt their employees It is
therefore in a position to profit by
Republican inaction on this sub
ject
On the aubjeot of the popular
election of Senators Mr Bryan
opens up as follows Besides re
fusing to reform existing abuses the
Republican lenders refute to con
sider the new issues whioh are being
raised The growth of municipal
ownership in the aities has been ac
companied by a growth in public
sentiment favorable to the exten
sion of government activity
He then treats of the opposition
of the banks for an enlargement of
the money order systemthe interfer
ence with the business of the great
express companies by demanding a
a parcels post and the opposition of
the telegraph companies against the
establishment of a postal telegraph
system in connection withthe mail
system He then follows with the
following The demand for the
eleotion of Senators by the people
is strong among the masses but
this too is opposed by the corpora
tions The House of Representa
tivesfresh from the people has four
times adopted a resolution proposing
the necessary amendment to the
ConBtitutionbut the Senate has four
times refused to consider the subject
This issue must be met by the party
in powerThe demand for direct leg
islation is growing every day The
corporations oppose this also and
the Republican party must before
long take a position upon it
Attention has been called to some
of the problems and there aro oth
ers whioh the Republican party
must meet they are problems in
timately conneoted with the welfare
of the oountry and the Republican
party is not in position to offer a
permanent solution of any of them
It is too much under the in
fluence of the great corporations
to settle these questions upon tha
peoples side and they can never be
settled until they ore settled upou
the peoplos side
And in conclusion with reference
to the direct effdot of all
to confer unearned bebefits upon
the minority of the peoplo at tho
expense of the majority of tho peo
ple and it would be a reflection
upon tho intelligence and patriotism
of the masses to believe that this
tendency can long go on unoheoked
The sense of juBtioe is the deepest
seated sense in the human breast
and this sense of justiae demands
such a distribution of tho wealth
created in this country a a will give
to etch producer a fair and equit
able share of tho joint product
This sense of justice is not satisfied
by an inoreaso in the production of
wealth if that inoreaso is mono
polized by a few It is to this sense
of juBtioe that the Democratic party
must appeal and its appeal will be
effective when the people are con
vinced that the party i3 more anx
ious to promote the publio weal
than it is to secure tho offices which
go with a national viotory
And Mr Bryan closes his very
able paper with the following terse
remarks that there iB every indica
tion that the Democratic party will
now address itself to these reforms
and thus by deserving success lay
the foundation for a real viotory
MARVELS OF DIPLOMACY
si
Will Bishop Willis raioo an indig
nant voice against the forcible an
nexation of tho Tonga islands 1 We
wot not Despite the strenuous way
that ho reprosohed the United
States for violating the sacred rights
of Hawaii the chanoes are he will be
on hand bright and early to give
the British freebooters the solace of
his Episcopal benediction Adver
tiser
Most BB8ufedlyknowing him too well
he will even if his own oountry was
to do it in the same manner as the
United States did in Hawaii nei We
are more than aertain that he will
raise hisvoiceinrighteous indignation
against any forcible annexation
the same as hedid while in Hawaii
nei because it is his place to fight
wrong with right
Long before1 Bishop Willie left
here the annexation of those
distant islands of a kindred
people living in the same
Paoifio pond as a dependency
under the British crown was talked
of and the news now received may
be only the oarrying into effect of
plans already laid and about to ma
ture in all probability by and with
the free wil and consent of its peo
ple which cannot be said to have
been the case with us here Who is
there here at this writiog that
knows that it is so or not 1 AH that
is Known here is very meager every
thing else being merely conjectural
If suoh an annexation is ooosum
aod not by benevolent assimila
tion aod force but by the free
couseut of its people there neod be
no indication and objection to
such a course from the only mac
whomfrwyo herewith us the Ad
vertiser nor its following could hush
nor turn down by abuse ridicule
vilifying and maligning Ho fought
the good fight for tight and justice
against wrong and injuatioe being
enacted toward a helpless and weak
people who were falssly misrepre
sonted by those they had befriended
iu their days of povortyaud who lat
ter became known in their true Color
as thieves and robbers pirates and
bucooneers whose nefarious doings
